Households That Less Than 500 million Yen in Annual Salary Became Clear Majority For the First Time--from Japan

Tokyo carries out an investigation of welfare and health once in five years. In that investigation, it was found that the number of households that the annual salary was less than 5 million yen in last year was over 50 percent for the first time. The percentage was the highest since this investigation started in 1981. Mainichi Newspaper reported it in 16th of this month.

In addition, households that the annual salary is less than 300 million yen were nearly 30%, up around 10% from the last investigation.

Tokyo is the capital of Japan or a world city. When general Japanese citizens hear the news, "Japan's economy is getting better and better!", they will think that it is just happening in a part of Tokyo and local cities are just going down and down... However, even in this Tokyo where there are much more job opportunities than any other city and wage standard is almost best in whole Japan, finally, it became clear that low income class is clearly increasing. This was a bit shocking for me, too...

For the money resource, 28% of the households said pension and social welfare. And the households that do not have jobs reached 22% that was the worst so far.

Reading the article and thinking about the real case, I seriously thought that this country may be quite dangerous.

I wrote the book, "Falling Japan" and selling on Ebay now. However, I'm getting a bit scared imagining the default of Japan. Of course, I NEVER want it to happen. I strongly want the government to be serious about the economy AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! They do not have any room to protect government officials including underground world in order to save this country, Japan!!

Recently, Japan currency, yen, is getting weak and weak. Isn't it telling something important? I may be thinking and worrying too much, probably...

Sorry to let you read this kind of gloomy news. This is none of your business and the matter that Japanese have to seriously think and solve.


Thank you for visiting <(_ _)> and Have a great day!!

P.S. I am listing my debut volume, "Falling Japan ~On The Verge of Bankruptcy and Destruction" on ebay. Please take a look at the auction page.
